Why do you just write that you finished 2nd in the group but not write the results of the playoffs succh as you won the title? :/ great finances btw, can't quite believe that they can't afford turning pro. At least semi-pro should be available with that much money, it's not like footballers earn a fortune in San Marino

I don't really know, I just don't do it, it's a lot easier for me just putting the Groups, finances will only get better with European football now.

European Champions League - Champions First Qualifying Phase First Leg

We got tired late on but still nearly managed a comeback, in the other game Rhyl beat Racing FC 2-0

European Champions League - Champions First Qualifying Phase Second Leg

WE'RE THROUGH!!!!!!

We were 10-1 outsiders and after going down to 10 men in the 55th minute I thought we had no chance but Michele Pratelli scored in the 83rd minute! Santa Coloma had a chance to equalise in the 88th minute but thankfully missed the penalty.

We go through to face Azerbajani team Qarabag Agdam in the 2nd Qualifier. Rhyl beat Racing FC 2-1 agg

Fun thread, really enjoyed reading that. Good luck for the rest of the season, look forward to reading an update after the weekend!

Thanks, glad you've enjoyed it so far, I'll probably have another couple of seasons done over the weekend for you to check up on.

I've made a bit of progress, we're miles away from the aim but there's no rush, I have 11 months to do this. And after the Champions league we have over 1m in the finances but still can't afford to go Semi-Pro, but we can ask the board for a better Transfer & Wage Budget.

The Play-offs really confuse me, I still don't know how they work but the teams that finish 1st in their Groups go into the Champions Playoff Fourth Round, and the teams in 2nd & 3rd go into the Champions Playoff First Round

Awesome, that puts you on the same level as some of the top clubs in Europe. Now you'll have to wait for your board to allow you to become semi-pro, so that the next Morelli that comes through ( at him being poached) won't be stolen that easily.

I don't understand why we're so bad at the start of the season, we almost always go bottom for atleast one game of the season. Thankfully we always pick up mid-season and we won the league for the 3rd time.

Coppa Titano - We breezed through the Group Stages but just couldn't beat La Fiorita in the Quarter Finals.

Squad - I let the older 1/2* players go and now we have a smaller squad where Andrea Pedretti (YP1) is the oldest player, age 22 and the squad average age is 17.

Finances - We're 1.1M in the black and most of that is set to improving the Training Facilities, I want enough money to go Semi-Professional.

Youth Players at the club:

Andrea Pedretti (YP1) - Made 4 appearances this year, but only got a 6.32 rating, also the oldest player at the club now, not very impressive.

Raoul Belmonte (YP2) - The captain of the team and the key player most of the time he scored 6 and assisted 12 he is also on 14 caps for the National Team now with an average rating of 7.13.

Valerio Borrello (YP6) - An average sort of season for Valerio, 6 goals and 10 assists, not far behind Raoul and got an average rating of 7.02

I'm thinking my most important win yet? We beat Bangor City 4-2 in the First Qualifying Round as 10-1 outsiders, and we've just beaten Montenegrins Mogren 1-0 at their place as 50-1 outsiders to put us in the 3rd Qualifying Round against FK Austria Wien!!

"Junior coaching is how well your youth players are coached before they are generated into the game. It will therefore mostly affect their starting CA." - Quote from Stu Coleman.

Seems that's the best thing to improve for you right now: in San Marino your youngsters won't improve much even with first team match exposure, because the level of the league is so low and they're on amateur contracts, so it's best to have them good enough to start immediately.

Allessandro Rossini (YP7) - Oddly not the first choice anymore, we now have a goalkeeper who I payed no attention too when he came through the Youth..

Giovanni Cambi (YP11) - The first Youth in a while that stayed with the club over Pre-Season and at 17 he's already been capped twice for San Marino, also got 5 goals and 8 assists so not bad.

Remio Aielli (YP12) - I really hope he stays at the club over Pre-season, the best person too come through the Youth System so far, I've started training his composure so he can try and be the goal machine next year.

Hey there.
One of the problems of this kind of leagues last year was the prizes that the competition got after they enter on the top 50 of the dynamic league ranking.
Could you try to post how they are evolving as the league/cup evolves in this ranking? (TV rights should be evolving too)
BTW, hope the update is working well for you, if you find any problem on it don't forget to post the bug on the updates topic!
Good Luck for your game, hope you get that challenge, won't be easy!

PS: The Ultimate challenge is to put a league like this one in 1st place of the Dynamic Ranking League! That's THE challenge! ehehe

Well I'll also try and get the league #1 in the rankings and the top nation coefficients too then

Right now the winner of the Trofeo Federale gets 27.83K for winning which seems pretty normal since I remember last year it went to like 5M prize money after 1 year so there's no bugs as of yet

Wow indeed lucky you! Hey makoto, can you check out the thread that I just started? It's in the career updates forum just like this one and I'd very much appreciate some feedback plus I'd love some advice from you since I have literally no experience on managing lower level clubs yet you're doing wonders here

Pretty damn quick and hard-working as well. If you focused on his quickness training he might gain a couple of points in pace and accelleration and we all know what happens when you have a fast player in the lower leagues.

An amazing season, there were a few slip-ups but we are looking more like the dominant team in San Marino.

Coppa Titano - Our attack was all there, but we conceded atleast one for almost every game but we got into the final where Raoul Belmonte (YP2) scored a brace to help us beat Virtus 3 - 2

European Champions Cup & EURO Cup - It was alot harder than I first anticipated, scraping past Llanelli and going past Shamrock Rovers on away goals, before getting our two buttocks handed to us by Olympiakos, before actually getting a draw against Portugese giants Braga, before losing 4-0 against them.

That's some serious decline in youth quality. What do you think the problem is? Is your squad too good, so the youth players are at the same level but not compared to your squad? Or do you need to make more investment?

I wouldn't say our squad was too good but just that they are at the same level and we couldn't make investment due to the board taking all the money to make a new stadium..

You won't be having top youth every season, if this continues for multiple seasons it'll be worrying, but right now it's just one bad wave. Nothing to worry about, especially since Gava has decent attributes for his position.
